As a diabetic patient, I am well aware of the impact this chronic disease has on our lives and have learned many valuable lessons from my own experiences. In this article, I will share the misconceptions I encountered when facing diabetes and the small experiences I have learned, hoping to help more people and make more people aware of the importance of diabetes prevention. 
Key 1: Diet ControlIn the process of facing diabetes, I have gradually realized that dietary control is essential for the management of diabetes. First of all, it is very important to understand the nutritional value and sugar content of food. I learned to pay attention to the nutrition facts on food packaging, to pay attention to the carbohydrate and sugar content. Reducing the intake of high-sugar, high-fat foods and increasing the number of vegetables, fruits, and whole grains can be very helpful in controlling blood sugar. Secondly, it is also very important to eat regularly and quantitatively. I learned to plan my meals wisely, avoid being overly hungry or overfilled, and keep my blood sugar stable. In addition, I learned to control the way food is cooked, minimize fat intake, choose healthy cooking methods such as steaming, boiling, and roasting, and avoid excessive frying and cooking oil. Most importantly, learn to use food substitutes wisely. Sweets are an irresistible option for diabetics**, but I've learned to choose low- or sugar-free food alternatives like sugar substitutes and low-sugar cookies. These small changes add up in daily life and have a significant effect on blood sugar and weight control. Key 2: Moderate exerciseIn addition to diet control, moderate exercise is also an important part of diabetes management. When I first started facing diabetes, I was afraid of exercise, thinking it would cause my blood sugar to fluctuate. However, through the guidance of doctors and dietitians, I slowly realized that moderate exercise can help control blood sugar and improve physical fitness. First of all, I learned to choose an exercise method that suits my physical fitness, such as walking, jogging, cycling, etc. Consistent 30 minutes to 1 hour of aerobic exercise a day can help improve insulin sensitivity, promote glucose utilization, and help control blood sugar. At the same time, it is also important to consistently perform strength training to increase the ability of muscle tissue to utilize glucose and improve the body's metabolic status. The combination of a variety of exercise methods can promote metabolism, improve cardiopulmonary function, and lose weight, which is very beneficial for us diabetic patients. 
Key 3: Regular health checksThe last key is regular health checks. Diabetic patients need to regularly measure blood sugar and blood pressure, check kidney function, fundus and nervous system, and risk assessment of cardiovascular disease. These are physiological indicators that we need to pay close attention to, so that problems can be detected in time and in time. In addition, it is very important to see your doctor regularly. The doctor will help us with a systematic physical examination and evaluation, develop a personalized plan, and make adjustments to our diet and medications. At the same time, you can consult the doctor for more professional advice and guidance. 
By mastering these three keys, preventing diabetes is not difficult. With proper dietary control, moderate exercise, and regular health check-ups, we can better manage diabetes and improve our quality of life. I hope that through my experience and sharing, I can help more people realize the importance of diabetes prevention and take active health management measures to make our lives healthier and happier!
